Chapter 131: Going to buy livestock
Zhang Wenguang hurriedly sent the telegram to Qiao Lian, "Second sister, my brother-in-law has returned to the army, you can rest assured." ”
Qiaolian took the telegram, and there was only one line on it, "Return safely, don't read it, leave soon, the address is uncertain, wait for my news." ”
Qu Weiyang wanted to tell Qiao Lian that he was going to have a mission to leave the station in the next few days, and asked Qiao Lian not to write to him in the future, without an accurate address.
Qiao Lian looked at the telegram, her face became more and more pale, she should have been right, this time Qu Weiyang's troops must be going to the south bank of the Yalu River to support.
Alas, I hope Qu Weiyang can go well and return safely.
Zhang Wenguang handed over the telegram, turned around and went out, Qiaojuan told him to go out to see what the Qu family was doing, Zhang Wenguang also understood that this was what the sisters were going to whisper.
He is a big man who doesn't like to listen to women's private words, so he simply comes out for a turn and helps Qiaolian do some work.
Qu Weiyang is not at home, he can help as much as he can.
Zhang Wenguang went out, Qiao Juan helped Qiao Lian to sit on the kang, looked at Qiao Lian's pale face, and couldn't help sighing, "You, are you there again?" ”
Qiao Lian smiled bitterly and nodded, "Maybe, I haven't been here for four or five days, and I've been a little nauseous when I get up early in the past two days, and sometimes I'm dizzy and uncomfortable." ”
Qiao Lian was similar to this when she was pregnant with Jia Kang Jiayuan, so this time when she had symptoms, Qiao Lian was basically sure that she was pregnant.
"Qu Weiyang is a bastard, he can't do good things.
A few days after I came back, I left with my hands, leaving you not only to take care of the family, but also to carry another one in your stomach.
When he comes back, you'll have to smoke him. Qiaojuan felt sorry for her sister and scolded Qu Weiyang angrily.
Qiao Lian smiled bitterly, "Sister, don't scold him, Wei Yang doesn't want to leave, but after all, he is a member of the public family, and he has the duty of being a soldier, so he can't make his own decisions."
Since I agreed to get the certificate with him and get back together, I was ready to guard the house alone.
I just didn't expect the child to come so quickly, and it's good that there are many things to do with the child, and I always think about him. ”
Qiaolian now has a good relationship with Qu Weiyang, so naturally she can't listen to her sister scolding him, so she opens her mouth to defend Qu Weiyang.
Qiao Juan glared at her sister, "You, let Qu Weiyang eat to death, and say that you are powerful, I think he is powerful, watching you beat and scold, didn't you coax you to death?" ”
"Alas, it's okay, Qu Weiyang is not a bad person, and he is sincere to you, the only drawback is that he can't always be by your side.
But it's the same, the man who can be around you has no interest and can't make money. Which man has a chance to revolve around his daughter-in-law all day long?
As long as he can earn money to support his wife and children, how can he be a perfect person? Qiaojuan sighed twice, and comforted Qiaolian.
"Now that you have a body, you have to pay attention to your work, the work at home is a little more leisurely, and you don't have to do it.
I'll ask your brother-in-law to come over every five or six days to see if there's any work you can do to your brother-in-law.
Take care of it, and when you are born, I will take care of it for some time, and I will never make it difficult for you.
If there is something at home, I sent someone to deliver a message to the camp, and I took the letter and came over as soon as possible. ”
Qiaojuan originally wanted to say that she took Qiaolian's mother and son to live home, but after thinking about it, there are crops and vegetable gardens here, and Qiaolian has finally served them until now, how can she be willing?
This sister of her own family has a strong temper and is stubborn, and she categorically refuses to rely on others, otherwise she would not have been able to move out of the Zhang family at the beginning, and she will definitely not be able to go back now.
I have no choice but to take care of my own family.
Fortunately, Qu Weiyang has been back for more than a month, and he has put everything inside and outside his home neatly, except for the eight acres of land that needs to be served, the rest has nothing to worry about.
When she just entered the door, Qiaojuan also saw a large pile of firewood over there.
This Qu Weiyang is really capable enough, and it is not easy to save such a large stack of firewood when he comes home these days.
"Sister, I really have something to ask my brother-in-law, can you help me buy a donkey or a mule? If you can buy it, find a carpenter to make a trailer.
You said that I have Jiakang Jiayuan in my own right, and I have another one in my stomach, and it is indeed inconvenient to go out for something.
I was thinking about getting a little donkey or a little mule, not to mention the convenience of going out, isn't it better to push and grind on weekdays than to be manual? ”
Qiao Lian really remembered one thing, that is, there is a lack of helpers at home, there is no mill at the end of Daying, and she has to use a stone mill to push her own food.
There is a stone mill in the courtyard of the Qu family, and in the past, Qiaolian pushed some bud rice and rice noodles every few days, and then mixed it with the grain exchanged in the system to eat it together, but it was not too tired to be able to do it.
But not now, if Qiaolian is really pregnant with a child, she can't hold the grinding stick and grind every day, she has to find a helper to help.
If you have a donkey or a small mule at home, at least you don't need Qiaolian to be affected by the grinding. Besides, it's convenient to go out and do anything, and it's fast and safe to drive a donkey cart or a mule cart.
Now that it is still a period of economic recovery, the state does not prohibit farmers from raising livestock, and there are no farmers raising chickens and pigs.
It's just that there is a limit, and if it doesn't exceed the prescribed limit, it's not a big deal, and no one will compare it.
Especially for livestock, livestock in the farmyard are the main labor force, and now that production is resuming in various places, it is completely okay for individuals to raise livestock.
Originally, Qiaolian planned to catch two pigs and raise them, but now that she is in this situation, she has no helper by her side, and Jiakang Jiayuan is small, how dare she work too hard? So you don't have to think about raising pigs.
Fortunately, she has a system to keep around, even if she doesn't raise pigs, she can't lack food. So Qiaolian changed her mind and planned to raise a donkey or mule, which could help her do a lot of work.
"If I can exchange eggs and duck eggs, my sister will also help me change a little, come back and hold a few chickens and ducklings, Jiakang Jiayuan and the two children will be able to serve, and when the time comes, the eggs will be laid, and the children can also be improved."
You can't raise pigs, you can raise chickens and ducks, you don't need too much, just three or five, and when you grow up in the future, Qiaolian will have an excuse for the eggs and ducks that she exchanged from the system.
Otherwise, they don't have anything at home, but they don't lack anything, and sooner or later people will notice it, but it will be a bad thing.
Qiao Juan nodded when she heard this, "Well, what you said is also reasonable, you have to raise some livestock to live at home."
This is easy, we have duck eggs, our hens are going to hold the nest these days, then I will put a few more eggs, and wait for the chicks to come out and catch a few for you.
As for whether you are talking about donkeys or mules, I think they are still mules, and they are used. Let your brother-in-law help you touch this, you should be able to have it, rest assured. ”
Zhang Wenguang is an old man in Daying, sitting in a landed household, and has a good relationship with the villagers, so this is not a problem.
"However, a mule is a lot of money, plus another trailer, do you have enough money in your hand?"
